Thank you both, and Trux, and everyone on the Tenth board for your continued support for active duty military personnel and veterans to access NOLS opportunities! We're so grateful to have you with us to make those experiences happen for new students every year. We're even more excited for the future and the opportunities you're helping create."

Move United Warfighter Program - "Thanks to the generosity of the Tenth Mountain Division Foundation, one of these warfighters was fully supported through this grant."

The Foundation was created out of the Division's strong brotherhood and their desire to give back and help each other. Those who have served under the 10th Mountain patch share a sense of service and the value of paying it forward - Trux Dole, Grandson of Mini Dole - Founder of the National Ski Patrol and advocate for creating the WWII light infantry division known as the 10th Mountain Division.
